Question

I know how to do this:

How to replace the div in Rails 3 using AJAX?

But while that replaces the content of the div, it doesn’t change the id value of the div.

How can I change the id of the div (along with its content)?

Answer 1

Just set id attribute for the div:

$("#your_div").html(...); # here you set div content
$("#your_div").attr("id", "new_id"); #the div now has new_id id
